You'll notice a suttle difference in the homework links this week. Because of the home project on Animal Habitats, we're not doing a new spelling list or Sight Words with Samson. For those of you who have completed these, you have the week 'off' from these assignments. Your child will be preparing their slide show, a little book published from the same work and an oral presentation from their work on their animal habitat that was completed in school. With these assignments and their animal diorama home project, we should do a great job at the Project-Based Learning Fair on Friday afternoon. Parents are invited to attend, bring their cameras and enjoy the artifacts of student learning that afternoon. We look forward to your attendance on Friday.
Please continue the home reading program by reading at home. Listening to your child read and interacting with them throughout the story will help them with comprehension and re-tell. Our Reading Counts class total now exceeds over 300 points and thousands (literally) of words read. I'm very proud of them and we should be able to double that point total by the end of the year, easily!
